The NEWSPAPERS published in Buenos Ayres are, the _Argus_, _Teatro del Opinion_, _Republicano_, and _State Register_. There was, likewise, a Sunday paper, called the _Centinella_, which has been discontinued--for what reason I know not, for it was managed with ability. The freedom of the press may be said to exist in a degree here; to the same extent as in England, would be dangerous at present. The _Mercantile Gazette_, edited by Mr. Hallet, a North-American gentleman, is very useful; it has every sort of commercial information. A newspaper of the same description, the _Diario_, carried on by a Portuguese, failed for want of requisite attention. A number of ephemeral productions appear from time to time, "to fret and strut their hour upon the stage, and then are heard no more." In the almanack of 1824, there is a selection of English puns and Joe Miller's jests, to amuse the Buenos Ayreans, and give them a specimen of English low wit. * * * * * The PRINTING-OFFICES are spacious, and furnished with every requisite, from London. An English printer, Mr. Cook, is employed in one of the offices, and report states his professional talents to be of the first order. * * * * * RELIGION.--Previous to the late treaty with Great Britain, no other place of public worship was allowed in Buenos Ayres, except those of the Romish church; and it was only after much discussion, that the article allowing religious toleration was obtained. The Catholic faith has been denominated a religion of the fancy; the Protestant, one of the mind. A book I have lately read, Blunt's _Italy_, ingeniously endeavours to prove that most of the Catholic ceremonies are remnants of Paganism; and the author illustrates his arguments by comparing the Roman with the Popish festivals. The great similarity would certainly incline one to give credence to the assertion. The reformed church, however, has its incongruities likewise. In Buenos Ayres I have not witnessed any thing like the superstition that reigns in Belgium; bigots there are, but not more than in some of our sects at home. The rising generation of Buenos Ayres have gone from one extreme to another, and are quite Voltairians: at the theatre, during a portrait exhibition of different public characters, that of Voltaire ran away with all the applause.
